The couple exchanged vows in the Pike County Courthouse chambers of Judge Wes Allen.

“We want it to be kind of quiet,” Razai said before the wedding.

He wore a suit and tie. She wore a shimmery floor-length gown and carried the bouquet Razai gave her for Valentine’s Day.

Allen said he had a few weddings slated for the day.

Kesha and Nickey Fuller were the first to exchange vows. Neither one could stop smiling.

“He’s a very special person to me,” Kesha said before the ceremony. “I’m just happy to be around him.”

Valentine’s Day has always been a favorite holiday for Kesha.

Fuller was just happy to start a family with the woman he loved.

“It’s a special day,” he said. “I get to take care of my family.”
